Teresa Palmer in "Berlin Syndrome" (2017) - IMDB
Clare (Palmer) is a backpacker on a trip through Europe. In Berlin, she meets Andi (Max Riemelt), who is a creep by definition. Still, she lets him lure her to his palce, where they have a one night stand. When Clare wakes up the next morning alone in the apartment, she is locked in and finds out that Andi has taken nude photos of her while she was asleep. She thinks it is a joke at first until Andi comes back home and turns her into his captive.
I cannot tell too much about the remaining plot without spoiling it. So I will let the screencaps speak, just like the movie prefers images over dialogs to tell the story. Despite the runtime of almost 2 hours, which make the movie exhausting to watch at times, I can still recommend it. Palmer and Riemelt are perfect in their roles and there is an interesting chemistry between their characters. Riemelt is an established actor in German cinema and TV and this is one of his few international productions. I found it also interesting to see him as the villain for a change, since he usually plays the good guy or the tragic hero.

). - I recall from the seventies publicity posters with her spreadeagle fully exposed, but covered by a bikini then. Unfortunately I did not find that poster anymore on internet.
